    I couldn't agree more. And the secretaries! I see a lot of rudeness from
    teachers in dealing with the support staff.
    I have rude students, too. They won't pick up their messes from the floor
    because "that's the janitor's job." Oh yeah!
    One day I saw one of those students at the supermarket cleaning up a ketchup
    bottle someone had dropped. I just passed by and asked "how do you like the
    janitor's job?"

    One of our secretaries that has been around for ages is retiring. I don't
    know what we will do without her. She's the only one that knows what is
    going on.
